But wouldn't the baby have to be registered in the country to avoid deportation? Like could one of my kids come here across a border (illegally) with a couple little ones and not be deported because they have kids? And if they register them here, then could they go into, say, Bolivia and never...

Oh dear . . . I can't resist. Everybody noticed I didn't bring this up right?. I'm innocent. But I do have this streak of reality to deal with. I don't know if there is a cure. This is less than two minutes long! WHY would I ever be in favor of a program that congress passes, exempting...

I'm interested in this too if anyone knows.

I have had two blenders here, First I had an "Atma." I knew someone in Uruguay having a really hard time financially, I was going over there and I had thought of getting them a blender because she used to make peanut butter and now had no blender. Since I was lazy and did not manage to get to...

You sure are bringing up things I wonder about. I am one who reads about Argentina's past and mourns to see the country be all that I believe it was meant to be. I've heard Argentinians criticized for that (hearkening back to earlier times I mean) and I'm as bad as any of them. There are some...

I have a good friend whose profession is importing and exporting and he said the business has now been killed in Argentina (I think related to the difficulty/impossibility of getting dollars but not sure)> He is Argentinian but told me he's going to either retire or go to Canada. Don't let this...

Hi, I'll say welcome as well. Becca sounds very close to my daughter's name. I call her the same, as an endearing term, but I spell it Bekah. Glad you're here!

Bajo, thanks for that article. You sure are a wealth of information. Incidentally, one might file this with that stuff that we hear and don't know if it's true, but I have heard that Gypsies here in Latin America have their babies at home and don't register them so that they can never be...

IABhutto Sorry but I just can't resist. If I don't like Obama, would you call ME a racist as well? Because I don't. And of course there COULD be a racist issue there, couldn't there? One doesn't know, does one? Or does one?! Just wondering how far that goes. .

SLeslie23, I know we have heard that. My son is pretty much an expert on matters like that and he had long told me that. He said my friend was kidding me and told me what you wrote. So my friend sent me a copy of the U.S. law on the subject (I am learning don't believe hearsay, look up the law)...

Now that we're on the subject, does anyone know where a person can get magnesium oil? I think it is magnesium oxide? I can't get magnesium tablets in any but 100mg. Ridiculous. I used to take 500 a couple times a day. But the magnesium oil is rubbed on the skin. I thought maybe that is available...

I know, it's a gold mine for me too HelaineT. I can see right now a trip to Galpon in my future! I think deliveries and a once a month trip there sounds like a good plan. I've known about Galpon for three years but didn't know all that was available there.

Huh! So you're saying that they have to put them in a feed lot and feed them corn in order to compete? I heard they were raising the chickens that way a few years ago--saying don't eat the chicken if you have cancer in your family--but beef I had not heard about. Uruguay by law does not put...

What could make the beef not as good here? Maybe some of us are just connoisseurs because I hear they can't make pizza here and I think I live in Pizza Heaven here where I am. But isn't a cow a cow? Maybe Brahmas are better than milk cows? I don't know. Just asking. I do know that if you put...

I am being forced to save mercury bulbs. I HATE the things and will not have them in my apartment so I took them out and replaced with LED and the portero said there is no special disposal just put them in the garbage.. The stuff is horribly toxic, that's one reason I don't want them where I...

Richard P I've also heard that isn't true. But as crazy as things are getting in the world any more, who knows? Commodorius, I'm sure I'll include more about it in Four Flags Journal once I see him. Any more no one wants to tell me much of anything by email. It is interesting though that several...

I can't remember if I posted here before I have a friend who lives in Paraguay who renounced his U.S. citizenship. And he doesn't have any other. I thought at first he was kidding when he wrote me that but he scanned his paper and sent to me to prove it. He is stateless. I don't know what...

There is a wealth of information here on this forum, more than we could possibly give. I'm trying to remember that myself before I ask questions--just because I'm more and more aware of it. Good job, Ghost. Sorry it wasn't appreciated. She asked for suggestions and you gave a good one but...

GREAT information. Thanks to all! And yes I hope that if anyone finds more sources you'll post here as well.

I don't know where to get organic beef here but in Uruguay it is all grass fed by law and nothing is genetically modified either but corn and soy which they claim goes to feed little Chinese children and not Uruguayan. But in Argentina it takes a bit of an effort. You can get organic chicken...
